[QUOTE="Anusha, post: 918067, member: 828"] You can't blame the burner if you used bad discs. Some burners "like" some DVD makes; some don't. You have to experiment a little and once you find that a specific brand works great on that burner, stick to those DVDs. * Remember one thing. DVD Burner "learns" how to burn as you burn more and more discs. Some burners will take 5 burns to get to the optimum quality. Some might take more or less. This feature could be disabled by default. Some brands have a utility to optimize the burner. (Eg: Benq's QSuite) However, sometimes the properly "learned" burn strategy might give lower quality burns than the "write strategies included in the firmware for a specific disc. You have to experiment this too. * Also note that sometimes the self-learning strategies can get screwed up, if one disc was in bad shape. It might make the burner *think* that it needs to alter the strategy, which is not the case. * You can use [URL="http://www.cdspeed2000.com/download.html"]Nero CD/DVD Speed[/URL] to test the quality of a burn. The things to watch out for are, Further do a DVD Benchmark test. It should give a fluctuationless read curve like this: [IMG]http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6614/88153635hp9.jpg[/IMG] (This graph was obtained on my Sony DRU-810A or reverted Benq DW1640 with Verbatim DVD+R 8X DVD burned at 8X) If the read curve is not like this, 1. Either you used crappy media. (Stay away from those Imation, TDK and other "junk" named crap! :D) 2. If you used good media with media codes like MCC003, MCC004 (that's Mitsubishi Chemical and Verbatim - they are both the same company anyway), then either, (i) your DVDRW doesn't like them. Probably a firmware upgrade will fix it, if that issue has been address by the firmware release. (Remember, do not try to fix what ain't already broken...although I would :P) (ii) your DVD burner is crap...To confirm it, buy some very good DVDRs and burn few test DVDs.. Yes, it is money, but you have to find the culprit somehow. [/QUOTE]
